wine at home

Gavage [Tampa, Asheville, AJ's, Heirloom, Calle Latina, Miso Izakaya]

April 12, 2013

Been a while since I’ve had a Gavage post, in which I dump a bunch of content not necessarily appropriate for a single topic post. You could also call it the “hey, look what I’ve been doing” series, or the “yeah, I eat and drink a lot and my doctor said I may have a [...]

Favorite { Dining – Drinking – Cooking } of 2012

January 3, 2013

Happy New Year! 2012 was another big year of living, and though I’m not as diligent with the old blog anymore, my appetite remains. As in years past, I wanted to put together a few thoughts and photos from some of my favorite dining, cooking, and drinking moments from the year that was.

Porchetta. Pasta. Duck. Beans. Seamless Ravioli.

November 1, 2012

Dude and I cooked a meal. I bought a pork shoulder and whole belly from Riverview Farms. Above, in perhaps my manliest photo ever (note – blow torch, chef’s knife, hack saw, and beer bottle), I butchered the shoulder. He/she will never dance again. Dude’s kids were appalled.

Here and There

January 23, 2012

I’ve been traveling all over the place, for work and for pleasure, hence the lack of restaurant and cooking project posts in January.

Favorites of 2011 [Booze]

December 24, 2011

Moving on from cooking, we guzzle on over to booze. Mostly wine, some spirits. If you are not a wine geek, or aspire to be one, it may be best to just skip this post. And I realize listing some of these wines is a touch braggadocio, but let’s be real, food blogging is often [...]

Minor Differences [wine]

November 21, 2011

There are a lot of distinctions in wine, some not so subtle, which is to be expected when we’re talking about a marketed, profit generating product. I won’t say they are intended to confuse the average consumer, but there are often trends and well-known names with an inherent value to be leveraged. Beaujolais is a [...]
